Welcome To The Pink Pig Farm Shop

The Jackson family has lived at Holme Hall for nearly 80 years, the farms covering 750 acres are based on two units 13 miles apart. Andrew and Sally now run the farm with their childred Luke Anna and Carrie, about 6 years ago we converted 150 acress into organic productio, pigs and poultry were introduced to add fertility to the organic roatation and little did we know that we were about to enter a massive learning curve in our lives. As organic Farmers we are governed by the soil association and their rules. These rules cover every phase of production to ensure that produce is free from chemicals and pesticides and antibiotics. In summer 2000 we started selling our produce from a trestle table and from Brigg Farmers Market. 2001 saw our first shop/cafe open, an extention in 2004 saw the cafe develod into a 90 cover resterauntand our shop trebbled in size. We now Market our own organic and non organic produce and support many local lincolnshire farmers by selling their home produce speciality foods in our shop. Recently we have opened a small educational trail and each year we are visited by some 1500 school children as well as playing host to the North Lincolnshire Food Festival

organic farming is the traditional way of producing high quality, healthy and tasty food without using man made products such as chemical ferilisers, pesticides and GM cropping. By caring for our animals welfare and using balanced rotations, organic farmers can supply delicious and nutricious foods to the satisfaction of the consumer and nature combined. medication such as antibiotics can be avoided by encompassing non intensive systems which mimic nature's evolutionary paths.

We believe you Will taste the difference

within the last few years many farmers including ourselves have diversified, either through necessity or to improve their returns and bypass the domination of the supermarkets. some are marketing on the internet, others through box schemes and farmers markets. our close proximity to scunthorpe gave us the opportunity to develop a farm shop and it is our aim to support local farmers and promote their produce in our shop. in this way we maintain rural employment and reduce the number of food miles (the number of miles food travels between producers and consumer) which in turn helpsthe enviroment by limiting the production of green house gases.
